It is old interview but good for who haven't read yet. And it is time to see action on smart contract.

Together with the action on smart contract, we're starting to see some action regarding its price. It is slowly recovering and the volume is starting to ramp up. This maybe the effect of the announcement of the smart contract and it is possible to see significant price appreciation when people starts to think the true value of this update in Waves platform.

On another note, is there any ongoing airdrop happening to Waves holders? Didn't have the time to track it but if someone from you guys can provide a link regarding those airdrop, it would really be much appreciated.

Since the deployment of smart contract the price seem to have been stronger. Though of course the bear market had pulled it down month before it but yes seem to be great seeing one of my investment is fighting back this bear trend. Pretty much sure this will be in the good status when all these bears are done. Congrats to the team.

On 21 September Waves Developers Advocate Inal Kardanov will be giving a presentation about Smart Contracts in Singapore.

Inal will discuss the differences between the various smart contract technologies, as well as the future direction of this functionality and the decentralized applications that will be built with it. He will also show how to start developing Waves Smart Contracts and will tell why Waves Smart Accounts are much more powerful than it seems at first glance.

What is happening with Coinomat asset swaps, this is beyond frustration now, some of us have had +100k USD tied up in Coinomat and other NXT assets Sasha launched years ago, and for years we watch him raise millions of ICO dollars, start new projects, and totally ignore past investors who helped him get established. I can't believe this really happens in broad daylight and nobody currently working with waves , and Sasha personally seems to be bothered. Sasha has effectively stolen large sums of money from people, and still people 'trust' him ... totally amazing, the Coinomat and NXT assets need to be swapped asap, otherwise people will be forced to take legal action, everything about Coinomat is known, the history is plane to see, Sasha refuses to honour the swaps from 2016 which is the same as stealing.

They are happy to announce that our smart contracts launch process on MainNet has officially started: https://telegra.ph/Waves-Platform-Enhances-Blockchain-Functionality-09-10It's just the beginning, folks — the start of many wonderful things that will be happening in the Waves ecosystem in the future!I will share something new information related with waves platform, let's wait and see, stay on here to getting latest updating, innovations development of waves platform. Thank you

Waves is very undervalued at the moment. Look at the features, wich are already working. And they are still implementing new features and updates. They have unique features like Lpos and Dex. Waves is very usable in practice. The only problem is that people dont even know about it because no marketing. Smart money is investing in waves and wont sell until serious prices (like Cardano, EOS, even ETH) are hit.

I have said that many times, but people only think I am looking for a moment's profit. dev may be afraid if waves are priced right they will sell their assets. even though this moment is an opportunity for waves to show the best platform. but I guess they just want to play safe by following the movements of other coins.

Lack of marketing is the big problem and the team is not perfect into this field. We have limited opportunities for this project and the trade volume on that platform is not looking good after few years. I think current product is not more advanced as people had expectation from this team maybe in future they will bring some unique features to make it attractive than we can keep hope for big.

The lack of marketing is a problem for many projects and this one is not an exception. But we have to admit that a good marketing strategy and an experienced team of experts is also pricy. A good product is sometimes better than any kind of marketing and it speaks for itself. In this case, in the world of blockchain products, it would be really difficult to hype a project only by having a good product. Seems like 80% of a project is just a good marketing.

I still remember the first release of the Adex website back in January. The admin panel was like a website coming from the 90's... though they are going a bit better now.

Marketing can only boost projects short term, giving a pretext for speculation (pump & dumps) but in the end the price is destined to reflect the real value of the project. Waves looks underestimated right now, but to boost it the way is not marketing, but further developement.

I agree on that. The fair value is the rational and unbiased estimate of the potential market price of a good, service, or asset. It takes into account such objective factors as: acquisition, production, distribution costs, replacement costs, or costs of close substitutes. And marketing plays a major role indeed. Well, for the real value of the project it rises with adoption, business and tech development, a good team and more funding. Hopeful for WAVES!

Congrats!

Thank you very much. It finally happened! The smart contracts functionality is realeased on the Waves mainnet. They will be activated by the end of the month, and after that another portion of decentralized applications functionality will be released. This is just a beginning of the road which will lead to Waves chain being able to support any kind of sensible real world decentralized applications. At the same time on Vostok platform the development of full turing complete smart contracts that can be coded in any language and run in docker containers is under way. We'll have a swiss army knife of blockchains, capable of doing whatever one might need them to do.

​​While we all are waiting for Waves Smart Contracts to be activated on MainNet, it’s a perfect period to talk about what they will bring to Waves Platform users. So, they want you to join them on their Q&A session with Sasha Ivanov on 19 September, they'll be streaming it live via Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
